PUBLISHERS' NOTE 



For this Third Edition of The Land-Birds and Game- 

 Birds of New England, Mr. Brewster has revised the notes 

 and additions which he contributed to the Second Edition. 

 The exigencies of the electrotype plates have forbidden any 

 very extensive changes, but certain alterations and emenda- 

 tions have been made, which were necessitated by the lapse 

 of eight years since the issue of the Second Edition.
